Report Medicaid Fraud

The first step in reporting Medicaid fraud is to talk to a qualified, experienced attorney. The False Claims Act attorneys at Hodgson Russ can help you report Medicaid fraud. We would then discuss the facts of your potential case thoroughly with you, studying the allegations and applicable law and conducting any necessary factual investigations with your participation. If you and we both decide to go forward with our representation of you and the report of Medicaid fraud, we execute an engagement letter and draft a complaint and other case initiation documents.

The complaint is then filed with the appropriate court and provided, along with other information, to the government's lawyers, who will decide whether to intervene in the case. If they do, that means that the government "joins our team" in the case’s investigation and prosecution. During this phase, we work hand-in-hand with you and the government attorneys to investigate the facts and evidence available to prove the allegations. At some point, the decision may be made to unseal the case, which means the defendant will learn about it. Once that happens, the case is litigated like most other cases; those with merit are resolved either through settlement or by a trial.
